What can you win at Christmas?
Christmas is the busiest time of year for competitions in Ireland. Last year we listed over 150 Christmas-themed competitions between November and December. Typical prizes include:
- Hampers and food: Christmas dinner hampers, chocolates, wine and festive meals out
- Trees and decorations: real and artificial trees, lights and decoration bundles
- Toys and gifts: toys, games, books and gift sets that can go straight under the tree
- Festive breaks: hotel stays, Christmas shopping trips and family days out
- Vouchers and cash: shopping vouchers to help with the cost of Christmas (see voucher competitions and cash competitions)
When do Christmas competitions run?
The first Christmas competitions appear in early November, with the biggest wave from late November through mid-December. Many close a few days before Christmas so the prize can be delivered in time, so it pays to enter early. Keep an eye on competitions ending soon so you don't miss a closing date.
Tips for entering Christmas competitions
- Check delivery dates. If you want the prize for Christmas, look for competitions that close and draw before about 18 December.
- Enter the quieter ones. Competitions that need a short answer or a photo get far fewer entries than one-click giveaways.
- Watch out for fakes. Copycat Facebook pages are common at Christmas. Read our guide on how to spot fake Facebook competitions.
- Be organised. Our guide to winning competitions covers how to enter efficiently and keep track of what you've entered.
